9. Genus: Pidorus Wkr. 
P. reverdini Oberth. (1 d). Blackbrown, Vertex red, band on forewings flesh-coloured with admixture reverdini. 
of orange. Siao-Lu. The specimen illustrated is from the Museum at I ring. 
10. Genus: Herpa Wlcr. 
H. elongatissima Oberth. (1 e). The wings are more acute than the other known species of this Genus, elongate-^ 
body and wings pale yellow. On the forewings the veins are finely indicated by black. Antennae black, very 
plumose in the <$. Tse-kou. The $ illustrated is from the Museum at Tiing. 
Oberthur considers H. ochraceci Leech (Vol. 2, plate 2 d) and H. luteola Leech (ibid.) to be ,j and r of 
one species. 
H. eleonora Oberth. (1 d). £ distinctly larger than basiflava Oberth. (Vol. 2, plate 2 d). Forewings darker, eleonora. 
hindwings brighter yellow. On underside the black neuration is finer and less extensive than on upperside. 
Body completely indigo-black. Shoulder blades and pectinated antennae black. Ta-tsien-Lu. The type 
illustrated is from the Museum at Tring. 
11. Genus: Campylotes Ww. 
C. philomena Oberth. Similar and only slightly larger than minima (Vol. 2, plate 2 f). Ground colour philomena. 
on upperside black-brown, bestrewn with Nanking-yellow spots, hindwings orange-yellow, intersected by the 
black-brown markings along the veins. Thorax blackish on upperside, scapulae Nanking-yellow; abdomen 
blackish with orange-yellow belts. Antennae black and pectinated. Underside of forewings with enlarged 
yellow spots. Ta-tsien-Lu. 
12. Genus: Agalope Wkr. 
A. lucia Oberth. is a palaearctic boundary form from Tse-kou, of which I could not obtain a specimen lucla. 
for illustration. It is very close to the south Chinese A. aurelia Oberth. from Yunnan, Bahand, but paler and with 
fainter and slightly altered marking. Ground colour of forewings pale yellow, neuration brownish; hindwings 
whitish with darker veins. From the costa of forewings obliquely through the middle of the cell and from there 
at an acute angle almost to the inner margin there is a dark stripe. At apex and base the forewings are more 
darkly scaled, 'also the hindwings. Thorax and abdomen red-brown, the latter laterally with yellow. The 
antennae are missing from Oberthurs type. 
A. glacialis Mr. subsp. angustifasciata Her. (1 e) is very close to the Indian glacialis. The blackish outer angustifas 
part of the forewings extends more straightly to the inner angle than in Indian specimens. Besides this the 
whole insect appears lighter. Ivwaichow, China. 1 he $ type illustrated is from the Beilin Museum. 
C. Subfamily Zygaeninae. 
13. Genus: Artona Wkr. 
A. sachalinensis Mats. differs according to the description from maerens (Vol. 2, plate 3d) by well sachahncn - 
developed rostrum. 2 pairs of the hindmost spurs are long. Underside of hindwings grey and of the same colour as 
underside of forewings. Connexivum of abdomen orange-yellow. Larger than tokyonella subsequently described 
and without the pale grey underside of abdomen. Sachalin (Toyohara) in August. 
A. tokyonella Mats. A differs according to the description from funeralis Btlr. (Vol. 2, plate 3 d) by the tokyonella. 
much wider forewings and opaque hindwings. Forewings blackish-brown and opaque, hindwings and fiinges 
of both wings paler; head, thorax and abdomen with a faint purple gloss. Underside of body and legs pale 
grey. Expanse 9 mm. Honshu (Tokyo), Mount Takao in July.

I. laeva Piing. (1 d). Head and thorax blue-green, abdomen and legs blackish with blue-green sheen, laeva.

long black pectinations becoming shorter towards the tip. China, South Shantung, Jenchow, middle of August.
